Echo gt 2000 wont start

Try 1/2 choke and part throttle with trigger, after several pumps of the primmer bulb.....You have to allow some air to the engine when creating a rich start condition.........

Fill with correct fuel/oil mix. turn switch to I. Pump primer bulb 4-5 times. Turn choke on. Pull starter until engine fires. Turn choke off. Pull Starter until engine runs & allow to warm up for 10 secs before trying to engage throttle. If it doesn't start after 3-4 pulls with no choke then try same sequence again. May have to use 1/2 choke after engine fires. If it still won't start then something is wrong with it & it will need to be checked by a service agent.

Check spark plug and make sure it is firing- pull the plug - ground it and pull start cord and see if the plug is firing.call me at 901-454-7772 if you want me to tell the other stuff you can do. Bill Robinson

The bulb pulls fuel from the carb into the bulb and back to the tank, if the bulb does not fill it is because there is a fuel blockage, either in the fuel filter in the tank, or the screen in the carb itself.

hello sir,routing fuel line for craftsman,homelite,ryobi,hedge and line trimmers,fuel tank under engine, looking at machine from rear, shall fuel line on left with filter attached goes to bottom port of carb, fuel line from right side coming out of tank with inside tip attached goes to bottom port of primmer bulb,top line on primmer bulb goes to top port of carb, fuel tank under engine,fuel line routing,looking at machine from left side, left fuel line coming out of tank(drain back only) goes to right side small port of primmer bulb, left side larger fuel line from primmer bulb to top port of carb, fuel line coming out of tank (larger line) on the right side with filter attached goes to bottom port of carb, when replacing fuel line it is very important to use the same ID and OD line the homelite takes a special line that is black in color and a bigger size,the bigger line is ID .08-OD140 small line ID3/32 X 3/16.when the lines dissolve small pieces will get in the carb clogging small passages and screen,it is advisable that you clean out carb,and use a new filter.hope this helps,any comments welcome,thank you. if the filter has broken off of the line half way that is where you will run out of fuel, oo

Hate to tell you this but if you didn't mix oil with the gas properly (most likely a 40:1 ratio) then the chain saw will seize up and won't work again.

possible air leak in the fuel line, or blockage in the primer bulb base

I had the exact same problem with gas soaking my back and found out the yellow fuel discharge tube that comes out of the carberator was not inserted into the rubber gasket on top the fuel tank. The gasket has 3 holes in it for 3 tubes and the yellow tube fits into one of the holes. Hope this helps. It is a bit difficult to get the tube in the hole, but at least if you know what you are looking for you can get it to work

check your gas and oil mix remove the plug take some carb cleaner spray in plug hole pull start replace plug pull start if it fire you mix is wrong.....Good Luck
